As you prepare to vote

This is a song by Randy Stonehill. I heard him sing this at Hills Alive in 1993 or 1994 in Spearfish, South Dakota.

Well we worship at the shroud of ElvisAnd we're waiting for that money from Ed McMahonAnd we're drinking from the Perrier fountain of youthWhile we follow what the daily horoscopes sayingTaking lethal doses of MTVDelving into pet psychiatryTrying to treat cancer with a fruit juice cureAnd waiting for the Beatles reunion tour

'Cuz it's a great big stupid worldAnd we're feeling kinda queasy as it turns aroundGreat big stupid worldAnd we're never really sure if we're up or downWe're on a dirt clod out in spaceWhere it stops nobody knowsIf Jesus came back todayThey'd try to book him on the Oprah Winfrey show'Cuz it's a great big stupid worldGreat big stupid world

Well we're hot on the trail of Big FootAnd we're wearing the crystals to feel the powerWe're hoping that the creatures from outer spaceCome to set us free in that final hourTrying to tell the future from the lumps on our headsGetting melanoma from our tanning bedsChanneling Houdini with Shirley MacLaineAnd trying to figure out what the dolphins are saying

About Me

I'm a Renaissance Man wannabee - I keep getting into weird stuff like trebuchet construction, potato mortars (really cool), bat house construction and strange things like that. I'm over 40, self-employed and the pastor of the Hobart Church of the Nazarene. I married way up, and have two wonderful daughters who continue to amaze me.
